I have noticed the time to build a word document grows exponentially with the increase in the number of pages of the report.

So a 5 page report takes something like 2 to the power of 5 times as long as a 1 page report.

Is the increase in time supposed to grow exponentially...
I am worried I am missing something.

Dave.
